llattIesnake Yersus Mastifr.

"A well known farmer who was in town
yesterday told me the largest snake story
of the year About the base OF "The
Pinnacle" a mass of black trap rock on
Talcott Mountain, off to the south of the
Albany turnpike and about ten miles west
of this city, rattlesnakes are still found
occasionally. A couple of miles east,
down the wooded slope, in the neighbor-
hood of reservoir No 3, and along she
abrupt rocky wall which forms the west
boundry of that mountain lake, these
dreded serpents ara sometimes met with
one was killed there week before last,
the first one this year; but it is west of
that neighborhood, and up on tie rocky
slopes, mile or so north Of the reservoir
main road crossing to Avon, that these
creatures used to be found oftener They
are diminishing now in numbers, but one
was encountered last Wednesday, by this
man at work moving brushes with
brush scYthe. Not knowing the true char
acter of the snake, he made dash for it,
as it coiled in the act to give battle, and
pinned it down with his scythe. At that
moment his dog, huge English mastiff,
dashed in and seized the snake as ii lay
pinned down. and the snake struck at
him, but by a lightning-like movement
the dog saved himself, the snakes Jaws
just missed him. BY this time he began
to realize the true character Of the strug
Cling monster he was holding down at
arms length with his scythe, and tried to
keep the dog away, but the dog was
bound to take a hand in that entertain
ment asd went in again. This time he
was not SO lucky; the snake succeeded in
striking him near the mouth. The man
managed to kill the snake, and found he
had II rattles, and was nearly 4 feet long
"a formidable fellow. Then, to save the
dog, he went for doctor who, for the
first thing injected ammonia into the
bite. Then he two men succeeded in
forcing into the dogs stomach a pint of
whiskey. This treatment saved the dog.
II was two hours after the bite before the
doctor got at the dog yet that ammonia
was probably as important in saving the
dogs life as the unaccustomed and big
dose of whiskey. At any rate the dog
was alive yesterday, and apparently all
right. Il would probably have been a
fatal bite if it had been Inflicted on a
man.

Causes Of Sudden Death.
Youths Companion.

The number of sudden deaths is large
perhaps increasingly so, though the pop
ular impression may be false, since the
daily press and the telegraph have made
a neighborhood of the whole land.
One source of sudden deaths is acct
dents, but many events pass under the
head of accidents which might have been
foreseen and guarded against. Ameri
cans, particularly, are apt to take great
risks; for example, in their eating, their
clothing, their building, in crossing rail
way tracks and in many other ways.
How careless we are Nc staging need
ever fall, and it would not if proper care
we're taken in the choice of material and
in construction. Think of the frightful
lists Of deaths resulting from the use Of
oil poured upon lighted fire TO cause it
TO kirdle more quickly!
With many other causes OF sudden
death, or own personal ills seem at
first ikht TO have almost nothing 20 do.
There may be fatal break in the physi
cal machinery at a point where weakness
has not been suspected. The heart, per
hars, becomes unnaturally enlarged, or
! its tough, muscular fiber turns TO fat, and
suddenly there is a mortal rupture.
Or the enfeebled heart fails 20 send
blood TO the brain, and the man drops
dead in the street, or at his business, or
more fortunately, perhaps, in the midst
of his family.
In other cases there may be a degenera
ton Of the cerebral artery, and high liv-
| ing, Of glass of wine, or an excitement
of passion, many arouse the heart to send
the blood TO the brain with a force too
great for the weakened arterial walls TO
withstand. These walls give way at one
or more points, the outpoured blood
presses against the nerve centers, ana
thus is cut of the necessary supply Of
nerve force to vital organs. The man
falls unconscious, and within few days
! dies.
We have not space to speak Of other
causes somewhat similar, but in most Of
them the weakness Of the link at which
| the chain breaks is due TO oyer-eKertioni
to too continuous brain work, 70 excesses
in eating and drinking to passion, TO
worry. The weak spot being ascertained,
the fatal result may be prevented for
years, perhaps indefinitely, by care

of the English railway companies. For
instance, the express trains between New
York and Albany average Only twenty
nine and quarter miles per hour, though
the track is almost level, while We Fly
ing Scotahman" averages fifty miles over
considerable part of the distance be-
tween London and Edinburg. Bet seen
New York and Boston the speed is rarely
over thirty-two and two-thirds miles an
hour, though the course is much easier
than that between London and Manohes-
ter, which is sometimes traversed at the
rate of forty and three-ffths miles
an hour, This speed is, indeed only at
tanned by one American line-what may
be called the limited MAIL between New
York and Chicago, which charges a
heavier fare for the accommodation

The recent attempt by French aeron-
auts to reach great height has not been
productive of any particular scientific
results. The balloon in which the ascent
was made reached an altitude of over 20
600 feet without the occupants of the
car experiencing any i'll effect except a
passing faintness on the part of one OF
the voyagers, who quickly recovered from
the attack. But il was instrumental in
bringing TO light the almost forgotten
fact that when a similar attempt was
made twelve years ago and IN altitude of
$4,000 feet was reached three out of the
four aeronauts succumbed TO the strange
atmospheric conditions and DIED before
they could descend. Perhaps a score of
other intrepid voagers have gone to
similar height and returned safely, Mr..
Glaisher, according to bis own account,
reached an altitude of $1,000 feet (the
highest ever reached by any aeronaut),
becoming partly unconscious when about
p 900 feet high and losing the power to
move his limbs even before he sank down
to the bottom of the car. His compan-
ion was similarly affected, though not to
so great an extent, being able to pull the
escape valve cord with his teeth. From
the meagre reports which have been made
on this subj ct it would appear that but
few are dangerously affected before pas
sing the 10000 feet line. Yet something
depends on the season in which the as
cension is made and the atmospheric
conditions at the start. Above the Hima-
layas and the Andes heights of about 90,
600 feet have been on several occasions
reached without any Inconvenience In
such cases, however, the ascent has always
been gradual. Could 4 slower rate of as
cension be made practical it may be that
there would be no danger to life at the
as-yet unreached altitude of nine or ten
miles

Too Large For q Conscience.
LONDON Telegraph.

One anecdots must relate about Lewis
who was very impulsive boy, and when
he once had made n statement which he
believed to be correct he stuck 10 it un-
willing to yield a single point. The
teacher in the little hill school we will call
Miss Hotehkiss. She had bsen leeturinr
because of some misdemeanor on the
part OF some boys, especially dwelling on
the fact that every one had a conscience.
She also stated that conscience could
not be seen, bu, might be felt, when sud
denly hand was raised and shaken TO at
tract attention. No attention was paid
to the hand for she noticed that Lewis
Weld was the owner, and she didn't care
to argue with Rim before the school
Pretty soon her talk was interrupted
with:
"Miss Hotchkiss! Miss Hotchkiss!
| say teacher, l saw conscience one
timer
"Be still Lewis, she said, no one ever
saw q conscience"
II did! know l did! a butcher showed
it TO me-"
"Be still, Lewis and don't interrupt me
now; III talk with you by and by
and she went on with her talk TO the
school.
Pretty soon the hand came up again,
while Lewis became uneasy III his seat,
and fually shouted'
"Miss Hotchkiss; Miss Hotchkis
made mistake; twan't Che conscience

Keeping the PlowS Sharp
Journal OF Agrirultura

Breaking stubble land fer fall wheat
seeding Is nearly always a tiresome task
for the teams, and when the weather i
dry and hot and the soil hard il is made
q good deal worse. Care should be taken
to see that the harness fits well. Keep
the collars clean and wash the shoulders of
at least every night with clean, cold water.
Take off the harness at noon and let the
horses derive all the benefit possible from
the noon rest. They should be fed grain
and hay, as it is not good plan to let
them run down, in view of the fact that
there is plenty OF work for the teams
until after the wheat is seeded in the
fall
IL is an important item. both in saving
the teams as we'll rs doing better work, to
have the plows in as good a condition as
possible. II sHlky or gang pillow is
uSeo' see that IL Is kept well oiled; this Is
important. The less the amount of
friction the lighter the draft. Whatever
kind OF pillow is used should be adjusted
so as TO run as level as possible. A pillow
set TO run on the point will not
run as light or as steady or do as good,
clean work rs when made to run level, as
when FIRST intended. When manufaotur
from a center, and when they are adjust
ed TO run different from this they are
made TO pub heavier; aud the same rule
holds good as to work They are built
and shaped to do the work required OF
them running level. When tipped either
back or forward, or the draft changed on
either side of a center, as good work car
not be done as when running il as it VIZ
madeto work.
1t is also an important item TO kee,
the piows sharp. With the improve
ments made in the points, being inter
ohangeable and reversible, and
the shares the same way, at least two
shares should be kept with every pillow
and they should be changed regularly, so
that they will wear the same. Here is
where some make mistcke; they use
one the most of the time with the inten-
tion Of saving one This spois the
very thing TO be secured by using two
shares they would be wort out together.
good mold board will easily wear out
two shares and better work can be don
If they are worn out evenly. Keep then
sharp the difference is the draft or
the teams and the better quality OF
work done is moro than sufficient to pay
Tor thb expense.
SO far as possible the plowing for wheat
should be done as soon as possible, so as
TO give plenty of time TO work the sur
face into good condition and settle the
under soil, In order TO do this every
effort should be made TO make the work
as easy on the teams as possible and at
the same time have the work done in
thorough manner. Thorough prepara-
ton is one OF the essentials necessary
TO good crop, and if this is given it is
very necessary that the blowing be done
well.
